Display all sub-category images in parent

Hi,

I'm sure this is easy to achieve and I'm probably missing something.

I want to display multiple galleries on one page, so lets say there is a page called "Gallery". I want to display gallery 1, gallery 2 and gallery 3 on the "Gallery" page. Not just links to sub categories, I want to display all images from the three galleries under its relevant gallert title e.g :

Gallery 1
Gallery 1 all images

Gallery 2
Gallery 2 all images

Gallery 3
Gallery 3 all images

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks

Marc

Hello Marc,

I know the problem and am also searching and trying to find the solution.

What I did notice is that the Image module offers a work around. There you can select several (sub-)categories which will lead to showing the images of the selected categories.
Unfortunately that doesn't work for the more fancy modules like Noob, Floom and Nivo.

So would be great to hear the simple tric to show the images of all the sub-categories for those modules

Hi Dirk,

I discovered the same temporary solution with the image module. It does list the category images as you say, but once i click on an image to enlarge it in a lightbox, the image can't be found, confused!

Thanks

Marc

Hello Marc

Just tested it on my site after I switched to the lightbox option.
Worked for the pics that were selected. So if I set the limit to 5 it shows 5 pictures out of the several sub categories.
Each pic can be openend. Did you set the "module link" to detail view in the options?
